Pretty Woman is one of those movies where, if you see that it’s on on a Saturday afternoon, even if it’s on the USA Network, you just have to watch it. Okay, I have to anyway (other movies like this include Top Gun, Ghost, and the Clooney Ocean’s 11.) This happened last weekend, and I thought the same thing we all think when we see that movie now: that it is completely and utterly ridiculous, even by romantic comedy standards.

  1. ha! all weekend i was saying, “big mistake. big….HUGE!”

    I actually wrote these words last week:

    I don’t get the Pretty Woman thing. That spoof says it all. There would never be a hooker/cinderella story in real life.
